March

Had a great time at the Black Mountain Marathon. Best volunteers ever. No mile markers. No idea of how far you've come or how much to go. Very refreshing, actually. While it was my slowest marathon, things seemed to go by much more quickly.

The Bridge Run is about to sell out. If you haven't signed up yet, I suggest you do so soon. Hope to see folks on Sunday. I might try to show up just to run a few.

Head for the Hills

Heading up to Black Mountain today for the marathon. Slow and steady shall go this race, and I'm looking forward to it. Should be cold but clear and without snow.

Anne, Jay and I had a nice 10 mile run on Sunday. The nice warm weather was a complete switcheroo from the week before. Typical Charleston weather.

I know that Cami said she plans to be in attendance for the Sunday long run. She's putting the finishing touches on her training for Florida. Hope to see some more folks as well.

Cold Snap

Well after a couple of weeks of balmy weather, we got a dose of winter weather Sunday morning. Nevertheless, Jay, Cami and I managed to crank out an 18 miler (though we took a slightly more leisurely approach), in spite of the freezing temps. It was definitely a good day to run with a crowd.

Good luck to everyone running Myrtle Beach this weekend. I've got a week and a half till my marathon adventure in the mountains.

I plan to be there this Sunday for a slightly shorter run (only about 10 miles, or so). Hope to see everyone then.

Good luck

Good luck to our "Save the light" half-marathoners and 5 K warriors.

May you all have a tail wind all the way to the finish line. Looking forward to seeing great results tomorrow!

I will be there this Sunday for a 16 miler.

Charlie Post

We had a great race day yesterday at Charlie Post. We got to see Annie's cute young'un. The weather was perfect. Anne got second overall. Cami won her age group. Annie and I both got 2nd in our age groups: "25 - 29" and "slightly older than that", respectively. Gordon made the switch and ran the 15K (the omens were good). A good showing all around.

Jay and I had a good run this morning. We caught up with the Mt. Pleasant crowd and ran with them for a couple of miles. Just like last week, the wind worked to our advantage; we got a head wind going out and a nifty tail wind on the return. Wish we could have that every week.

Best of luck for Charlie Post

Missed the last couple of Sunday morning runs but wanted to wish everyone the best of luck at Charlie Post this weekend. I'm opting for the 5k in pursuit of my resolution to get fast again. See you there!

Sunday

We had a good run on Sunday with unusually warm weather. The group had a visitor, Lauren, who we hope will visit Charleston again. '

Good luck to anyone the Charleston Full or Half this weekend. I'll be out of town this weekend, but am looking forward to some local races coming up soon. See everyone next week.
